World Communist revolution ever possible?

Would having world Communism be plausible at any point in history? After the Russian revolution a lot of people thought revolutions across the world would bring world Communism. They were wrong. The revolutions failed and the USSR was the sole Communist country until China and the Eastern block countries after WWII. Perhaps if the USA fell to Communism in the 30's depression world Communism would be more realistic.
 
Doubt it. I think the closer you get, the more of an anti-Communist sentiment and the potential for Fascist/Military governments to rise to prevent Communist ones.

I have a feeling Reds! will end up with that happening.

Does the Soviet Union winning the Cold War count?

That would count if you mean that USA becomes Communist. The USA 'won' the cold war when Russia became democratic and free-market. If the US fell to Communism, world Communism would have a good chance of succeeding.

Pretty much this scenario. It's hinted that Western Europe is essentially a capitalist fortress whose colonial empires are being slowly chipped away by the combined Soviet-American push for global communism - essentially a reversal of the OTL Warsaw Pact situation.

America going Red is very much essential to a scenario where global communism emerges dominant, as it has a significantly easier ability to spread its influence beyond its immediate geopolitical neighborhood than Russia does.
